trinque: within a few inches of the left side of the bottom case
asciilifeform: (presumably it is the called one, ack'ing the call, that sets it off)
asciilifeform: trinque: how close does the pnoje have to sit to the lappy ?
trinque: can reproduce it every time
ben_vulpes: was guaranteed way to get boy out of house though "hey i'm here" *slamming around*
asciilifeform: trinque: if you can reproduce this on demand, you can make 'nsa airgap receiver', give lulztalk at some shitcon.
ben_vulpes was too kind to call trinque during business hours, lols not worth angrytrinque
trinque: proximity to cell phone causes some video card problem that turns off the display, have to switch VTs to get it back
asciilifeform: trinque: was this in the logs ?
ben_vulpes: i have seen the most amazing kaleidescopic fireworks shows upon opening the machine
ben_vulpes: oh don't even get me started on the ways in which the laptops don't behave deterministically
asciilifeform: his thing has 6-10hr 'ups'.
asciilifeform: (it gets test-drained weekly, also.)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: belt and suspenders, my comp worx 100% deterministically if i were to pull out the ups. disk controller battery.
mircea_popescu: an ups is not that expensive wut
asciilifeform: if i find that a piece of iron behaves nondeterministically in whatever way (purpose-built rngs aside) -- i throw it out.
asciilifeform: this is the elementary, 0th thing required of a comp.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: dunno about you, i don't buy or keep around boxes that randomly lose bits.
ben_vulpes: what upon them possibly could
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: none of these liquishits 'work' per sane people definitions of working
ben_vulpes: bezosnet is a far more capable docker than docker ever will be.
ben_vulpes: which BY THE WAY
ben_vulpes: yeah the thing approximately works as an uptime monitor for impoverished ustards running 20 side projects on a single aws t1.micro
Framedragger: (turns out i *didn't* read that hft article (https://thehftguy.com/2016/11/01/docker-in-production-an-history-of-failure/) fuuuuck)
ben_vulpes: my popesculator appears to function just fine
mircea_popescu: (though i suspect some segments of interwebs actually think it works thus)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes otherwise it'd be a little lulzy, what, dude stuffs girl in van, rapes her, it's now his through the magic of fuckjuice ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i thought?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform complicated, consider most of angloworld used wallpaper + wainscotting up until the us took over the civilisation.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's actually how it works neh ?
asciilifeform: i keep waiting for someone to introduce this fine tradition in usa
trinque: hah there's something there too
ben_vulpes: "yes i let you use her but she's still mine no matter what show you two got up to in the bedroom"
asciilifeform: trinque: reminds me of the multiple legends that abound re the old sov habit of hanging carpets on walls. 'we're eastern orcs, we've been doing this since the mongols' -- nope. false. 'it's because of cold cement in hruschev-era flats' -- possible. 'it was so as not to hear the neighbours fuck' -- most likely.
ben_vulpes: kinda surprised to not see a gf lending metaphor from mircea_popescu
trinque: really it's a reaction to poverty, "lala no I really can't hear my neighbor taking a shit"
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: no moar so than the 'illusion' of the multi-directory hdd
ben_vulpes: has the republic dispelled with the illusion of the multi-user unix machine yet?

Framedragger: trinque: asciilifeform: i concede your point lol. (last good one re cache was just a few days ago, too http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-06#1622509 ) ☝︎
ben_vulpes: sure but it's been going on like this for what three years how
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i think he had that one burned in rom
mircea_popescu: ah calender is the paper forming thing yeah.
trinque: yeah but calendar is hilarious too
asciilifeform: Framedragger: 'isolation' in the sense you picture it, would be a useful thing if it actually worked. items like, e.g., vmware, come close, but still no cigar (you can leak bits via cache skulduggery, as discussed every six months or so in the log for past 3+ yrs, and various other ways)
mircea_popescu: until you have net interface that somehow (how the fuck ?!) doesn't get to read/write to memory, your isolation is soup served in a calender.
Framedragger: that said, fuck *again* i expose myself to arguing for a point i do not heartily believe in. need to reassess my shitty approach.
mircea_popescu: isolation is the metaphysical concept of running software independently on a machine which shares bus access among undefined peripherals and has no way to isolate cpu instruction runs.
Framedragger: don't say i 'sulked' tho.
Framedragger: well i did, but you disagreed with the definition
mircea_popescu: let's try that definition.
trinque: I told you to define it and you sulked
trinque: Framedragger: no, I said it's not a fucking thing on the same machine!
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the xwindow thing was a simple example of the lowest fucking level of this. what isolation. it never yet happened.
asciilifeform: i saw that pisser befoar!!
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in "modern computing today", http://68.media.tumblr.com/ba3119f7a99000a0d0d0660f0de315a3/tumblr_nr4qqlinuP1uvik0co1_400.gif and then http://68.media.tumblr.com/c7046a6346bca40065837e467e72cdc4/tumblr_nr4qqlinuP1uvik0co2_400.gif
Framedragger: i only see folks denying the concept of isolation, i maintain that it's not altogether a useless concept. disagreement in premises
mircea_popescu: "can't say our democracy is a waste of everyone's time". ooops...
mircea_popescu: well ? you said that without ANYTHING to back it up ? that MAKES YOU exactly defined by tshirt
trinque: twenty year old kid says in 201x "oh I will solve the problem of system state management on unix"
mircea_popescu: listen, your position is horrible because you said "cant say x" and then x was immediately said and ... what now ?
Framedragger: but rather more to do with deployment, reproducability, ops, etc
Framedragger: that said, docker's 'main aim' isn't even isolation for the sake of security, so my weak point is even weaker.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger more like "used docker, liked it, wants to dockerize other things" therefore defined by tshirt.
Framedragger: "used docker" therefor "defined by tshirt" q.e.d.
mircea_popescu: "i did not say this before any implementation failed though -- it was fine while it wasn't obviously failing"
trinque: "no this thing somebody else built defines me and I have the tshirt"
trinque: "oh but in theory"
trinque: Framedragger: and what of the myriad privilege escalations that have happened right through the cocker daemon
mircea_popescu: your fucking x windows read the input of all other windows dude. wtf.
Framedragger: a process by which one restricts the system-provided resources that a particular entity (just "process", for now, say) is exposed to; the effect of which is that the entity functions as if in a stand-alone system dedicated to its purpose
trinque: yeah but he was supposed to say it!
mircea_popescu: i am saying the core concept of isolation is not useful. what now.
ben_vulpes: and then i waste a year and untold piles of shitbucks on docker
trinque: in your terms, go ahead.
trinque: you may not use the term "isolation" without defining it
Framedragger: *sigh* i'll grant it that concepts are leaky and can't apply hammer to all problems etc etc; but you can't pretend that the core concept of isolation is not useful. just isolating fs, process, and network is already useful.
trinque: Framedragger: the fuck is "isolation" ?
mircea_popescu: the whole point of the "we'll solve problems with plows dragged by 1024 chickens" is that you then DO NOT tyurn aroundand pretend each chicken is an individual bipedal miniox.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger honestly i know of no better than "get a box"
mircea_popescu: gyess what ? they still are.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-11 17:20 phf: "you want meaning in your life? lol. here's 50 books of meaningless rituals. that you have to perform daily. the smarter you are the more rituals you get. knock yourself out."
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-11#1625537 entirely. ther'es hordes of chicks who are taught to dick about with "google analytics". there's hordes of dicklets who docker. there's a whole population of people who in 1817 would have been making textiles by hand. ☝︎
Framedragger: i expect folks regard the "crash and go away" as a feature - just restart it bro, etc.
mircea_popescu: spinsterism. it's a thing.
mircea_popescu: it's great for otherwise idle dorks to dick about with.
ben_vulpes: worse than mongo in that it contaminates /everything/.
ben_vulpes: silicon-valley developer finger trap. can't go away soon enough.
ben_vulpes: no bitch, you will give me that process that is hosed. i want to diddle it further.
ben_vulpes: "oh, no, why would you ever want to do that? aren't you a professional opsbro? with centralized logging? containers are ephemeral, you low-dough derp! they crash and go away!"
ben_vulpes: but that's not all! say one wants to get into a running container where something went wrong to inspect it's state
ben_vulpes: i have wrestled this pig
ben_vulpes: you say this as though you think i'm unaware
a111: Logged on 2017-03-11 19:34 ben_vulpes: Framedragger: "if you care about your data integrity, our tool is not for you"
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-11#1625594 << docker containers are *supposed* to be ephemeral. 'volatile containers' in itself is not a worthless concept. don't take it as me advocating for them, just, ftr. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-11 19:33 asciilifeform: Framedragger: you will notice that tools which 'invites lazy people to be even more lazy and reckless' proliferate, whereas ones that penalize shaved chimps for being the worthless biowaste that they are, tend to disappear and then have to be excavated from 1km of dirt, or evaporate entirely
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-11#1625589 << yeah that's true, and i suppose one could do better than encouraging this trend ☝︎
Framedragger just had some cold borscht. << amazing and recommend for those who haven't tried
mircea_popescu: you know it's going to shit when the cheese starts widening in this manner.
asciilifeform: brits still technically in eu
